[[folder:Shinzon]]
!!Shinzon
!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/TomHardy
!!!'''Dubbed in French by:''' Guillaume Orsat

A clone of Jean-Luc Picard created by an earlier Romulan government to act as [[TheMole a mole]] in Starfleet. According to Starfleet Intelligence he served with distinction during [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine the Dominion War]], but after the next round of elections a new, apparently less warlike, government was worried Shinzon might be discovered by the Federation and lead to war, so they imprisoned him in the dilithium mines on Remus, where he was adopted by the Remans.
----
* BaldOfAuthority: The leader of the Reman rebels, and later the Romulan empire is Praetor Shinzon, a clone of [[Characters/StarTrekTheNextGenerationJeanLucPicard Captain Jean-Luc Picard]], one of the franchise's primary {{Reasonable Authority Figure}}s. Shinzon is shown to be completely bald, having been artificially born and experiencing accelerated development.
* BaldOfEvil: He's about as old as Picard was when he attended Starfleet Academy and yet, he's completely bald.
* BigBad: The main antagonist of the film.
* BladeEnthusiast: Shinzon clearly has a thing for daggers -- he carries more than one on him most times and toys with one during a quiet moment. In the climactic battle he tries to stab Picard with a dagger instead of grabbing any one of his fallen Remans nearby dropped guns.
* BritsLoveTea: Much like Picard, he loves his earl grey tea (hot, naturally). He even orders some ''mid-fight''.
* CloneAngst: Created as a clone of Picard for a scheme that was abandoned, he's got a major chip on his shoulder about it, at Romulans, humans and Picard alike. At least some of his motivation seems to be just proving he's his own man... in the most monstrous way imaginable.
* CloneDegeneration: It gets worse and worse as the movie progresses. By the end of the film, he's as pale as a Borg Drone with visible veins all over his face.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was a slave who worked in the dilithium mines for many years (starting when he was a ''child'') and was subject to horrible abuse by the Romulan guards, who apparently despised him even ''more'' than they did the Remans.
%%* DiabolusExNihilo
* EvilBrit: He's played by the British actor Creator/TomHardy and is the BigBad, even if his character is a clone of a French man.
* EvilKnockoff: Shinzon is a clone of Picard and the main villain of ''Nemesis''.
* EvilIsNotWellLit: Likes tending to stick to the dark, because of his childhood spent in the mines means his eyes are pretty sensitive to what humans would consider normal mood lighting.
* FantasticRacism: Loathes the Romulans for certain.
--> ''[to Cdr. Donatra when she attempts to seduce him]'' "You are not a woman. You are a Romulan."
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The extreme actions that actually relate to his supposedly well-intentioned goals occur entirely in the opening minutes of the movie: as he was raised by the Remans, he understandably doesn't like their status as the [[ProudWarriorRace Warrior]]-SlaveRace of the Romulan Empire. But when he assassinates the entire Romulan Senate and installs himself as the new dictator... ''he's already solved all the Remans' problems.'' At that point his only real explanation for wanting to destroy Earth is to eclipse Picard in the history books and make sure nobody ever subjugates the Remans again. For a poorly explained reason (to prove to everyone that the Remans are to be taken seriously), he has a super battleship way more advanced than every ship it comes up against. He also got a planet-destroying superweapon from... somewhere.
* IAmWhatIAm: Mid-fight, Picard tries again to reason with Shinzon's better nature. Shinzon categorically refuses, denying any remnant of his humanity left.
-->'''Shinzon:''' I am Shinzon of Remus [...] and my voice will echo long after yours has faded to a dim memory.
* InertialImpalement: [[spoiler:Picard uses a piece of metal aboard the ''Scimitar'' to run Shinzon through the abdomen just as the latter is about to kill him]].
* InformedAttribute: He's supposedly a gifted strategist, according to his Dominion War record. His onscreen tactics, however, leave much to be desired.
* KickTheDog: He does a MindRape on Troi to pile misery on her.
* KillAndReplace: The Romulans created him for this purpose, but the mission got scrapped and he was sent to the Reman mines.
* LoveAtFirstSight: A dark, twisted version for Troi.
* MotiveDecay: Is his motive to [[spoiler:cannibalize Picard so he can live]]? To [[spoiler:destroy the Federation]]? To [[BrainBleach get in Deanna Troi's pants]]?
* OhCrap: When Picard is about to [[spoiler:ram the ''Enterprise'' into the ''Scimitar'']].
* OrcusOnHisThrone: If there's one thing Shinzon enjoys, it's sitting around doing jack shit for long periods of time.
* PsychopathicManchild: His physical maturity was accelerated well beyond his mental maturity. Growing up in a Romulan prison didn't help.
* ShadowArchetype: To Picard.
* ShutUpKirk: He gives one to Picard after the latter's KirkSummation.
* SuperSenses: The cloners copied Picard right down to his childhood hyper-sensitive hearing.
* TakingYouWithMe: He decides to take the ''Enterprise'' down with him [[spoiler:after the ''Scimitar'' is disabled]] with [[spoiler:his thalaron weapon]]. It doesn't work out thanks to [[spoiler:Picard and Data's intervention]].
* TooDumbToLive: It's not very wise to wait for the procedure regarding the clone dengeneration ''that'' late. The Viceroy repeatedly seems to speaks for the entire audience regarding Shinzon's predicament:
--> '''Viceroy''': You're wasting time.
* VillainousBSOD: He goes through one after [[spoiler:the ''Enterprise'' rams the ''Scimitar'']] and decides to calmly [[spoiler:deploy the thalaron weapon to take the ''Enterprise'' down]].
-->'''Shinzon''': Some ideas are worth dying for, aren't they, Jean-Luc?
* VillainousCrush: On Troi. He appears in a MindRape sequence when she's making love to Riker.
* VillainousLegacy: [[spoiler: While Shinzon only appears in one film, his actions and legacy end up driving much of ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' 20 years later (both in-universe and in real time). Data's death aboard the ''Scimitar'' continues to haunt Picard during Season One (with Data's subsequent resurrection ironically only being possible due to Shinzon's usage of B-4). Finally, his coup destabilizes the Romulan government, leaving it ill-prepared for the Supernova that destroys Romulus and devastates the heart of the Star Empire.]]
* YouHaveFailedMe: When Picard and Data escape the ''Scimitar'', Shinzon has a Reman guard who fails to stop their escape killed.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: The Romulan government cancelled the plan to replace the real Jean-Luc Picard with him, and simply dumped him on Remus to die in the mines.

[[folder:Reman Viceroy]]
!!Reman Viceroy
!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/RonPerlman
!!!'''Dubbed in French by:''' François Siener

* AllThereInTheManual: The post-''Nemesis'' novels give him the name Vkruk.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Meets his end by falling into a BottomlessPit that somehow exists in the lower reaches of the ''Enterprise''.
* TheDragon: Acts as Shinzon's second-in-command, and leads the Reman boarding party aboard the ''Enterprise'' in the final battle.
* EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep: His actual name is never stated, and he's only ever referred to as "Viceroy" in both the dialogue and end credits.
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is even deeper than his actor's natural resonant tones, which only makes him more intimidating.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Reprimands Shinzon for wasting time having dinner with Picard instead of just getting on with his EvilPlan... and then helps Shinzon use his telepathic powers to mentally ''rape'' Troi, thereby wasting even more time.
* PetTheDog: When Shinzon was banished to the mines of Remus as a boy, the Viceroy protected him from the Romulan guards and essentially raised him.

[[folder:B-4]]
!!B-4
!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/BrentSpiner
!!!'''Dubbed in French by:''' Yves Beneyton

* AesopAmnesia: Apparently the ''Enterprise'' crew didn't learn from their experiences rebuilding Lore back in TNG.
* AndIMustScream: When Data questions B-4 about Shinzon's plans, he makes sure to only activate his brain and mouth, leaving him motionless.
%%* BackupTwin
%%* BetaTestBaddie
* BlankSlate: He starts off not knowing anything and being completely innocent.
* BusCrash: ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' reveals that Data’s attempted resurrection failed because B-4 couldn’t measure up to him and he was disassembled. Though this is later Downplayed in that his memories and aspects of his personality are uploaded into Daystrom Android M-5-10, along with Data, Lore, Lal and Altan Soong.
* ContinuityNod: The Next Generation episode "Inheritance" makes note of the fact that there were three prototypes constructed prior to Lore and Data.
* DubNameChange: He's named Proto in the French dub.
%%* EvilTwin
* FlawedPrototype: He works, and he doesn't have Lore's little bug of "kill and betray everyone who looks at me", but clearly Doctor Soong still hadn't worked out all the kinks. B-4's mind seems permanently set at a childlike state, and ''Picard'' makes clear he's nowhere near as sophisticated as his brothers.
* {{Manchild}}: He's identical to Data, but has a childlike demeanor.
* MeaningfulName: He was the prototype of Lore and Data. He closely resembles Data with his stiff robotic speech pattern.
%%* TheMole
* NotSoSimilar: Used as an example by Data as to why Picard and Shinzon aren't the same man.
-->'''Data:''' I aspire to grow, to be more than I am. B-4 does not.
%%* ReplacementGoldfish
* SealedEvilInACan: The ''Enterprise'' crew find him dissassembled and put him back together. It turns out he's part of an elaborate evil scheme by Shinzon.
* UnwittingPawn: Shinzon found him sometime before the film and programmed him to hack the ''Enterprise'' computer and download Starfleet's tactical database. When Data questions him after the fact, it seems like B-4 doesn't even understand what he did, or why.
* YouAreNumberSix: Unlike his "brothers", B-4 doesn't have a real name.

[[folder:Commander Donatra]]
!!Commander Donatra
!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/DinaMeyer
!!!'''Dubbed in French by:''' Christine Guerdon

* BigDamnHeroes: Attempts to do this for Picard and fails miserably: Shinzon's too good and the ''Scimitar'' is too tough.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She was fine with Shinzon wiping out the Romulan council and seizing power, but draws the line at launching an unprovoked attack on Earth.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: {{Downplayed}} in the same fashion as her Vulcan cousins from [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan two]] [[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry other]] movies--attractive, but wearing a military uniform rather than anything {{Stripperific}}.
